Page 14 of Autumn & Woods
Woods' eyebrows furrowed, still looking dead at me. “Word? I’m surprised I didn’t see you. I made the most of the lay... over. Did you?”
I nodded, smile stretched painfully tight, muscles rigid as I held myself together. “Excuse me,” I managed, my voice barely steady as I backed away, knees threatening to give out. “I… need to use the bathroom.”
Taj pointed toward the hall. “First door on the left!”
I nodded, quick steps carrying me down the hallway, heartbeat damn near in my shoes. I slipped into the bathroom, locked the door, and pressed both palms to the sink. “Girl.”
My reflection was calm, but beneath the surface, I was in shambles. What are the fucking odds of this happening? My pussy was thumping like it heard the bass drop. My mind raced.
I came in here to look cute, eat good, sip a little, and vibe—not stare down the man who’d had me moaning less than 24 hours ago. I took a deep breath to try to center myself. Then, a knock came at the door. My whole body froze.
“Autumn.” My thighs clenched at the BDE dripping from his voice.He waited a moment, then asked, “You good in there, gorgeous?”
A ss o o na sI saw Autumn, my dick got hard as fuck. She looked too damn good in that green dress and shoes. Toes dipped in white French tips. Hair all curled up, skin glowing. I’d just come from out back smoking a blunt when she walked into the living room, and I felt the air shift. God really had a funny ass sense of humor.
But then, she tried to act like it was our first time meeting. That “nice to meet you” was cute as fuck like she wasn’t just throwing that ass back on my dick twenty-four hours ago.
The second she ran off to the bathroom, Ty nudged me. “I forgot to tell you ‘bout Taj’s fine ass friend, cuz.”
Taj grinned. “That’s my girl, and speakin’ of…” her words trailed off, and my eyes followed. “Who’s this?” They landedright on the quiet chick Ty brought through. He hadn’t even introduced her ass yet.
Ty moved quickly to her side when Aunt Sherry cleared her throat hella loud. “Dana, lemme introduce…”
I smirked, leaving them to that shit. “Yeah. I’ma go grab somethin’ real quick.” I moved through the living room, walking in the direction of the downstairs bathroom. I stopped at the bathroom door and listened for a second. I heard Autumn breathing, probably trying to get herself together. Then I knocked.
“Autumn.”
Silence.
“You good in there, gorgeous?” I asked, voice low.
The door cracked open after a few moments, and she was standing there, eyes wild, chest rising, mouth slightly open. “You really followed me in here?”
I stepped in, locking the door behind me. “Had to make sure you wasn’t in here plottin’ your escape,” I said, voice smooth.
“You’re an asshole,” she breathed.
I took a step closer. “But you opened the door.”
She just stood there like she didn’t know what to do with herself. I did, though. I backed her up against the sink, eyes locked on hers the whole time. “You really just tried to act like we didn’t meet before?”
“What was I supposed to do?” she whispered. “Yell ‘Hey Woods, thanks for the good dick’ across the damn living room?”
I smiled. “You could’ve.”
She shook her head, lips parted. “You got me fucked up,” she murmured.
“Relax, gorgeous,” I said, voice lower now. Then I grabbed her jaw gently, fingers sliding under her chin, thumb dragging across her bottom lip. “You wore this dress for me?”
“I didn’t even know you were gonna be here.”
“That why your thighs squeezed together soon as you saw me?” She didn’t answer, and she didn’t have to. Her breathing gave her away. My hand slid from her jaw to her throat, gripping her just enough to make her tilt her head. “Tell the truth,” I whispered. “You been thinkin’ ‘bout a nigga the way I been thinkin’ ‘bout you?”
Autumn closed her eyes and bit her bottom lip. I leaned in and kissed her slowly, tongue sliding past her lips, deep and wet. She moaned into it, hips shifting forward without thinking. And just like that, I had her right where I wanted her, but now wasn’t the time. As much as I wanted to bend her ass over the sink again, I knew I had to wait for that moment.
I pulled back, lips brushing hers, still holding her throat. “You lucky we surrounded by family ready to grub on some stuffin’,” I murmured. “Or I’d have you bent over, stuffin’ you with this dick right now.” Autumn opened her eyes slowly and let out a shaky breath. I let her go, smirking as I stepped back. “I’ll see you out there, gorgeous.”
Is t o o dt h e r efor a full minute after the door clicked shut, staring at my reflection like it held all the answers. My bottom lip was still tingling and my throat was dry.What the hell was that?
